We've stayed in two other Montreal hotels in the past 2 years, so we had some basis for comparison when staying here. I chose the Intercontinental for its proximity to the old town and the fact that it had a special rate through the Montreal tourism site. Upon arrival on a Saturday evening, we were able to park on the street for free (it was after 6) which allowed us easy access to the hotel. We were told we had been "upgraded" to a room with a view. And what a view! We were on the 24th floor for two nights. The room was spacious and clean. The king size bed was super comfy- the pillows were ridiculously soft, which may not be for everyone. The bathroom was big, too, as it had a small shower with good water pressure AND a tub. And I will mention- as it matters to me- that the hairdryer provided was awesome.
Generally, this hotel is great, though wi-fi and breakfast cost extra unlike many hotel deals in Montreal. We didn't take advantage of the pool or the business center which I suppose are two of the other perks of the hotel. Generally, stay here if you can find a good deal. Otherwise, you may be like us and need less and therefore can stay somewhere with free wi-fi.
